Our Mission
Since our founding in 2015, we have expanded to include a dynamic range of mental health and adolescent services, spanning four states and seventeen addiction treatment facilities and growing. Like all great companies, we evaluate our business regularly and calibrate it to our core values and mission as we serve our patients’ physical, mental, and addiction recovery needs.
The Northpoint Core Values and Purpose is a doctrine we live by. Since its inception, it has included a general treatment philosophy grounded in abstinence-based principles, meaning it is free from habit-forming medications upon discharge. We have historically defined what we do as follows:Â
“We deliver a safe, supportive environment for abstinence-based treatment of addiction and improved mental health.”Â
To determine the most evidence-based approach, we will continue to rely on our expert Interdisciplinary team of medical and psychiatric providers, nurses, clinicians, and caring support staff to thoroughly understand the individual needs of our patients.
We are also mindful of adhering to state legislative requirements that influence treatment plans, discharge options, and risk factors. To avoid any unspoken assumptions or confusion, we believe it is important to be forthright in expanding our philosophy to allow for medication-assisted treatment approaches, where appropriate, as there is now abundant evidence about what is proven to be effective.
This does not mean that we are moving towards becoming a Suboxone clinic, a pain management clinic or any other loosely associated reason to use potentially controversial medications. It means that we do what works in providing safe, highly individualized care and doing right by every patient. We are moving forward with a refined definition of what we do as follows:Â
“We deliver a safe, supportive environment for recovery from addiction and improved mental health.”Â
